Alright guys, so after surfing on the internet for two days without any luck to solve this issue, here's how I worked it out.
I know a lot of people might have gone through deleting their mi account before signing out from the phone and hence locked onto the deleted uid activate phone screen, right?
The official helpline suggests us to go to the service center but honestly the engineers over there don't know a **** either. All they know is how to hard reset the phone, if the problem is gone then - "EUREKA" !! , else "Well its a hardware issue, motherboard replacement is the only option, it will cost $$$$ rupees." Are you effing kidding me, its in warranty.
Even clean flash with edl mode or so doesn't seem to do the trick.
The only solution that worked was :-
1. Well obviously create a new mi account.
2. learn how to use edl mode, coz that's what's gonna help
edl - http://en.miui.com/thread-290959-1-1.html
How to use miflash with edl guide - http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
3. Download the oldest fastboot rom for your phone.
( I know this is the tricky part to find an old rom but try to go as low as possible, for me, having a redmi note 3, i went as low as 7.1.7.0 )
4. Download the latest recovery rom for your phone from here http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
5. Now enter the edl mode and use Miflash to clean flash the fastboot rom you downloaded.
Wait till the phone starts. The trick here is that older version of miui roms dont directly check for account status. Instead it gives us a choice to use an existing account or to create a new account.
So enter the credentials of the new account you created and log in with it.
6. Enable Find Device now. ( Yes this is important )
7. Load the recovery rom in the internal memory of your phone and use the updater app to update it to the latest rom.
8. It'll take some time to update, but after the phone starts you can see that you have the latest rom and it already has the new mi account logged in.
9. Open https://i.mi.com/ in pc and log in with your new account. Click on Find Device and let it locate your device. Somewhere on the browser you'll see the option to wipe your device remotely. Click on it and let it wipe your device.
10. After the phone is wiped and starts again, click next next until the mi account screen appears. You'll see that instead of asking password for the older account that was deleted, it'll ask you the password for the new account that you recently used. You already know the password so just enter it and voila the rest you know.
11. I suggest you perform a reset from settings -> additional settings -> backup and reset -> reset.
Yep this is it. You have successfully linked your phone with the new mi account. I guess its kinda overwriting it or so, but well who cares, the annoying device locked with deleted account is gone now. I know its a lot of steps and all but its certainly better than the alternative.
Adios people. Enjoy the unlocked beast.
hello, after update with latest when get internet conection goes it self to locked screen and ask for old mi account not the new one. it is a redmi 3
Hi, I know this post is somewhat old but I have an issue with MI Account. Here is my story, the kids were using my Redmi 4a device and created a login password accidentally which they don't remember anymore. So I did do a recovery to bypass the login password but was stuck at "Mi Account" login page. I had forgotten my password or anything related to Mi account. After researching on the net and following some tutorials I did flash with EDL using Global ROM MIUI8 (rolex) and after successful flashing I switched on the phone and the MI account login was not there anymore plus I didn't connect to the net. After inserting SIM cards fine, wifi works fine but I dare not go into that MI account login in the settings so my question is, if I use that MI account in the settings will it be a new account or would it ask for that old (before flashing) account password and moreover if I do upgrade what would happen? Thanks in advance.
Regarding Mi Account
I have followed step by password log in is gone and everything is fine working with old version and I create new account then I start upgrade by going to update application then after upgrade then reboot then when log start boot then again asking old account which deleted ....my divice is mi pad

Can you please send me a video of all the process
is that reset phone? i need contents in phone.
Assalam o alikum and hello friends.
Jawad here. And in this Post I would like to share a simple trick with you guys,If you are Reading this then its means either your Mi devices is locked or you don’t know the Mi account installed on your device. Things you should know are what are ROOTING, CUSTOM RECOVERY, CUSTOM ROMS and how to do those. This post will be simple but not the procedure and unfortunately will be like this.
First of all let me tell you one thing and that will be If your Mi device is lock you can install CUSTOM roms, BUT its my personal experience that when I changed rom from MIUI rom to other custom rom I was missing My MIUI rom badly. Secondly this process will be long so be have some patience, And At last If you follow all the steps correctly then IN SHA ALLAH you will find your very own Mi account on your device.
1)If your Mi device is lock what should you do first, Things you should do is DOWNLOAD TWRP, LAZYFLASHER, CUSTOM ROM (which ever you like) SUPER USER.
2)Now Install TWRP recovery through Fastboot, For that you will find Many videos on youtube.
3)After that just for few minutes install custom rom. (Flash through TWRP) Look for HOW TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM THROUGH TWRP for your specific device.
4)Root it (Flash SUPERUSER.ZIP through twrp amd flash lazyflasher too) and install DEVICE ID CHANGER and change your DEVICE ID. In whichever way you like, It can be of your own choice or it can be randomly.
5)After that Flash your desire MIUI rom and go through the process. And now you will find that your device is without any previous Mi account.
Thanks for Reading

My device is Redmi 3s prime, brought it from China. when came back, I couldn't verify my Mi account so had to Flash custom rom Linage Os 14.1 didn't like that at all so shifted to the next and then to the next, And then by chance install Pixel Rom although couldn't root it but found that my device ID was changed so just to try if anything like that can ever work, I flashed MIUI 8 again and was surprised to found that there wasn't any Mi account at my device. So I created my New Mi account.
To confirm this very theory I had to root my device and had to Change device ID and then performed factory reset only and this did work. There wasn't any MIUI verification.
Thanks mate it worked perfectly

Here is the prove
Prese Thanks Buttom if i help you
i need help, let me tell my story first.
OK, so my phone is redmi 4 Prime, i got it second handed...bought it complete with box and charger, and everything
the seller already unlock the bootloader and installed TWRP with custom rom installed too, AOKP
when i said is mi account is log out, he said yes, i wont worry because he got the box, so if anything wrong i can request unlock to xiaomi
but then after i flash with MIUI, i found out MI account havent been log out
so i ask the seller but the password he gave wont work, then he said, that maybe it was his old mi account he forget...
OK, so i do request to xiaomi, but my request is rejected 3 times
i ask online Chat for why i always rejected even though i got the box,
after that CS xiaomi call me, and then i know that the imei in the box is different 1 number than in the phone, i check it before, but i didnt notice this 1 number different,
maybe i am not too focus and also it already night we meet up. i know it is my fault not pay attention more
in the box imei is :
xx33xxxxxxxxxxx
yy33yyyyyyyyyy
but in the phone is :
xx32xxxxxxxxxxx
yy32yyyyyyyyyy
and now the seller is very damn hard to contact. his number is always offline...
i know his identity card number and his wife, i got it in the phone, i back up all the data and backup with twrp too.
but maybe it will take a while until we meet again...since i have work and it is a bit far
although i still can flash customrom, i too want use the default MIUI rom
i check "the box imei" is not link to any mi account
so then i tried fix my imei using QSPT and backup my xqcn, edit it then restore to phone
the imei now the same as the box, flash miui 8.5.3.0, still show activation. weird thing is i can scan wifi the momen after selecting region...when using old imei, i can.
tried above method, change device id, still wont work...
the think is, i even not connect to network yet, but it still link to mi account, how can it be??
is flashing using EDL mode can lock again the bootloader?, because if so, i am affraid it will make this phone useless
any suggestion what should i do??

Nice question and answer is itself question. Yes mi account still there. Only way is go to service center and give them imei no. and pay money. Or go to any Big repairer and tell them Your story. They will Bypass it or delete Mi account so that You can enjoy phone with network .
Many people who face issue of network in mi Xiaomi mobile or redmi mobile is 1st check IMEI with bill box. if correct then proceed with Mi account process though you may not seeing any mi account locked to phone. mi server keep records of it.
If No bill box then Check online site imei.info or similar site , type there imei no and proceed with captcha and get result. if your phone is same as per there details shown then all good , otherwise may be problem. sometime imei.info provide wrong information so check other websites.
Hi,
I have problem with a mi device (Mi4c). It was bricked and I have succed to restore it. "This device is associated with an existing Mi account...." (159****855).
But, it's not my ID account or my friend ID account. Mine is : 279***686 My friend is : 160****427
So, the mobile phone was purchased completly new on Aliexpress (it was 1 on a half or two years ago).
At this point I can't connect my mi account on this phone and it is completly locked.
have tried to install the first Miui 7 rom. I have succeeded to connect mi Miui account. But, after that, I have installed the last Miui version and get the same message!
If i'm not be able to connect my account, I have a message that tell me to give an unlock code to the customer service (Your device is associated with another mi account (159****855))! But this FU***NG device never been associated with this account! :
The unlock code is like that :
2E540***1618
Do you have some ideas?
Thanks!
Finally, I have found a solution.
Need an unlocked device with custom recovery
Step one :
Fastboot mod :
*fastboot -w
*Fastboot erase config
Step two :
*Take the STABLE Xiaomi.eu rom accorded to your device on this page : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-15-16.28809/
*Install it via your custom recovery and reboot your phone
Step three :
*At this time, I have not tried to connect my miui account (so, I can't tell you if it work)
*Insteed of trying to connect my Miui account, create another one with an e-mail adress!!!
*After that, go to your Miui account (on your device) and associate your Mi4c (or other device) with your phone number. It's in setting / Mi account / Devices
*Activate "Find device" on your mi account and go to https://us.i.mi.com/ and activate to see if it work.
*After that, go to this page and flash the last rom (Beta or Stable, according to your device) : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-22.36929/
*Reboot your phone.
At this time, you can go to your mi account, and it's work (normally).
After that, I have tried to reinstall another rom (globerom) and it work perfectly.
But I have deactivated "found device" before doing that. Now, I'm able to connect the phone with another Miui account. It work perfectly.
Hope it can help others like me!

Maybe the bug will be fixed with Android Nougat.
For now, I have installed the last beta GlobeRom and it work perfectly (I have tried to disconnect and reconnect two accounts many time).
Thanks for ur instructions!!! It works for me but when I tried to upgrade to miui 8 by flashing a stable rom. I still get the 'this device is associated with etc....' Error. How did you disable find device? Thanks for your help!!
Did you do the following steps ?
*After Miui 7 rom installed, you need to reboot your phone.
*Instead of trying to connect my Miui account, create another one with an e-mail adress!!!
*After that, go to your Miui account (on your device) and associate your Mi4c (or other device) with your phone number. It's in setting / Mi account / Devices
*Activate "Find device" on your mi account and go to https://us.i.mi.com/ and activate to see if it work.
*After that, go to this page and flash the last rom (Beta or Stable, according to your device) : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-22.36929/
*Reboot your phone.

Hi guys
Bought my phone at AliExpress with Global 9.1.4.0 installed
I was trying to install Xiaomi.eu ROM when I found out that my phone is associated with another Mi Account, presumably my seller's, so now I can't go on with installation.
Is there any way to solve this?
Return the phone if you can.
it basically means that your phone was unlocked by your seller, global rom installed and then shipped to you... theres no way to undo this at least to my knowledge...
Hey all,
I am almost done with my waiting time for unlocking the bootloader. I am not sure if I should be flashing Xiaomi.eu or not. My aim from this is that I want to remove everything from MIUI that track and harvest data. I do not care if I continue to have MIUI or move to any other ROM.
Anyway, I noticed that my Mi 10 Ultra keeps running the following apps:
- Analytics.
- GetApps.
- Mi Browser.
- AI Call Assistant (what is that? Why do I need a call assitant?)
- NetworkLocation (What is that? Is it collecting any data?)
I have already stopped all the permission and uninstalled all the updates of those apps from the settings. They still manage to download themselves on my stock ROM and continue to function!
Anyway, I did not find any ROM to install other than Xiaomi.eu to be honest. But, it still has Analytics. But, they gave it a different name. The only good thing is that they claim that they have removed all bloats and they decreased the data collection to its minimum.
Moving on, I have tried ([ADB DEBLOAT] MIUI 12.0.8 List). I did not filter ones I want to remove. I just removed everything mentioned. My phone showed a loading screen which says Just a Sec. I waited for a while and then restarted the phone because, it did not move anywhere from there. So, I have decided to restart and... My phone was locked. It was locked for a day and then I was able to unlock it after I did a hard reset.
I do not want to go through that again. So, I am waiting for my bootloader to unlock before doing anything to my device.
So, here are my questions:
1- Is there no Custom Rom that is compatible with Mi 10 Ultra other than Xiaomi.eu? What are my options here?
2- If I installed Xiaomi.eu. What are things that I should be removing? And do I have to sign in to Mi account again after unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks in advance,

I think currently there are no custom ROM for Mi 10 Ultra yet, only official china rom and EU rom atm.
I am running the 20.9.24 weekly EU rom currently, the rom removed almost all china exclusive app (mi wallet and etc). You probably do not need to remove anything. Yes, you need to login to MI account again.

It'll be fine. You can choose NOT to login to Mi Account after installing EU ROM.
